All my work is highly personal whether it is graphic images of my innards , manifestations of my inner thoughts or simply places I have been and things I have seen which evoke feelings and memories . I have used photos I took six decades ago ; MRIs and X-Rays of my brain , spine , hips and hands from my medical records ; old family photos and Kodachrome slides I scanned and cleaned up ; images from Art School in the 70 ’ s ; and countless photos from our international travels over the past couple decades .
